At 30 June 2020, given the current crisis, the Group reviewed the value of its shareholding in Dooya in light of impairment indicators (temporary shutdownsof factories and reducedactivity). A discount rate of 12.5% and agrowth to infinity rate of 2.75% wereused as part of the impairmenttest, as at 31 December2019. No impairment charge wasrecorded during the first half of 2020. A one and a half-point increase in the discount rate combined with a two and a half-point decrease in the EBITDA to sales ratio in the normative flow used to calculate the terminal value could lead to an approximately €1.2 million impairment loss on equity-accounted securities.
